1. Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2. And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3. The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4. But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.
5. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was.
7. Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8. The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
